Spicy Garlic Honey Shrimp over Linguini

Last night I made Spicy Garlic Honey Shrimp over Linguini and it was the bomb.com! I've made Balsamic Onion Linguini and a Mushroom Linguini before so I took what I knew and I came up with this delicious dinner!

First I had to peel all these shrimp. Gross!

Then I started boiling the water for the noodles.
I cut up 2 onions and a few good sized garlic cloves. We like garlic so I usually use a lot.
I browned the onions in a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of butter.
Once they got nice and brown I added the garlic to give it time to mollow.
Don't forget to add the noodles!

 Once the onions caramelized and the garlic was brown I added the shrimp.
I mixed in paprika and black pepper as I saw desired. We like spicy so I use a little more than the norm.
Once the shrimp were pink I glazed them with about 2 tablespoons of honey and cooked it a minute longer.

Then I added one cup of white wine, brought to a boil, turned it down and let it on simmer until the wine reduced.
At this time I drained my linguini and kept some of the cooking water in case I needed to add it to the sauce.
  
Toss the shrimp sauce with the noodles, grade some mizithra cheese over the pasta, add a salad,

and enjoy!
(Yes I use my happy birthday wine glass year round!)

After dinner we took our dog for a 9pm walk in the misty Portland rain and shared another glass of wine in a to-go cup.
We're so romantic!
